Jack & Jill's Childcare Trevorder
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Torpoint for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2023. Open since 1991, with 24 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Cornwall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cornwall from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children happily enter the setting and confidently wave goodbye to family members. They place their belongings away and self-register by finding their name card and placing it on the designated board. Staff and children have positive interactions. Children spontaneously hug staff, who respond affectionately. Children feel safe and secure.
Staff plan the curriculum around children's interests and needs. They talk to children often about their feelings, using props to support this. For instance, children use mirrors to look at their own emotions, and staff extend this by encouraging children to make faces using play dough. Staff provide excellent support for service families when loved ones are deployed away from home. Staff, who also have family members in the services, provide children with personalised booklets to share at home. This enables children and families to talk about their emotions, locate relatives on a world map and talk about when they will be coming home. This helps to support children's personal and emotional development well.
Children behave well and show kindness to one another. Outside, older children pour their younger peers a drink from the water dispenser. During tidy-up time, children work together by placing resources in the correct boxes.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop further strategies to help extend children's learning when at home n adapt teaching, particularly during small-group times, to help all children build on their existing skills.

- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
